In the Underworld's North Skeleton Prefecture, a gray-robed figure flew swiftly forward, as though eager to breathe in the scent of freedom.
"Haahaha! This is the life I, Odin, was meant to live!"
Having just completed his challenge and become a city lord, Odin laughed excitedly.
When Odin first came from the Material Plane to the Underworld, he had merely been a Midgod. Yet even then, he had begun paying attention to fusing profound mysteries.
After an unknown number of years, he successfully fused three profound mysteries, then broke through to become a Highgod, rising to become a six-star demon of the Underworld.
Later, through several battles, he fused four profound mysteries and, riding that momentum, challenged the city lord and won.
At that moment, Odin felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment. Now, no one in all of Reka City could stop him.
As an expert who cultivated the Laws of Death, Odin had a particular twisted preference: he enjoyed tormenting people.
The pained, despairing expressions of those he tortured gave him immense pleasure.
For this reason, back when he was in the Material Plane, he had controlled nobles of certain Empires and Commanders of merchant associations, then made them do things for him.
What Odin enjoyed most was controlling them and making them slaughter their own parents, wives, and children one by one. The disbelief and hatred on the faces of those being killed filled Odin with delight.
However, what pleased him most was not that moment, but what came afterward.
Odin would release those people from his control and restore their clarity of mind.
Then, he would quietly watch as they went from shock and agony to numb disbelief.
Afterward, they would all scream in anguish, glare at him with hatred-filled eyes, and recklessly try to kill him.
